Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical device sales management, and specifically to a B2B ordering and supply chain collaborative operation platform in the medical device industry, which aims to achieve comprehensive digital management of medical device distribution business by building a management system that integrates procurement, inventory, sales, logistics, finance and other functions. Background Art

[0002] The medical device distribution industry faces problems such as complex management, opaque information, and cumbersome processes. Traditional management methods often rely on manual operations, resulting in low efficiency, high error rates, and difficulty in achieving real-time analysis and decision support for sales data. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system that can automatically and intelligently manage the medical device distribution business. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0003] Figure 1 The overall structure of a B2B ordering and supply chain collaborative operation platform for the medical device industry is demonstrated, presenting the key functions of the system and their interrelationships. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention proposes a B2B ordering and supply chain collaborative operation platform for the medical device industry. The system includes two parts: a dealer end and a management end, and achieves deep integration with the ERP system, thereby realizing data sharing, process collaboration and business intelligence.

[0005] System architecture: Dealer side: For dealers to use, mainly for order management, inventory management, sales data analysis, customer service, etc. Dealers can view inventory status, sales records, customer feedback and other information in real time, and perform sales forecasting, order processing and other operations.

[0006] Management terminal: For managers to use, mainly used to monitor and manage the entire distribution network, including business order review, dealer price policy, inventory strategy formulation, sales data analysis, supply chain collaborative management, etc. The management terminal has higher permissions and can view and adjust system configuration to ensure the normal operation of the system and the accuracy of data.

[0007] Main business processes: Standard sales business: Sales order, delivery notice and sales delivery note constitute a complete sales delivery process. Sales order is the starting point, which records the customer's purchase needs in detail, including key information such as product type, quantity, price, etc. After the order is reviewed, the system will automatically generate a delivery notice. The delivery notice will trigger the generation of the sales delivery note. The warehouse will arrange picking, packaging and delivery according to the sales delivery note.

[0008] Lending business in different warehouses: Lending business realizes efficient management of goods in the process of lending and returning. This function supports visual operation of the whole process from lending goods, in-transit tracking to returning goods to warehouse. From initiating lending application, review and approval, outbound shipment, to in-transit tracking, each step realizes digital and visual operation, ensuring real-time update and accurate tracking of logistics information.

[0009] Consignment business: Distributors submit goods transfer applications to designated warehouses through the distribution management system based on sales demand or inventory status. After receiving the application, the warehouse will review it and decide whether to approve the transfer request based on inventory status and logistics arrangements. Once approved, the warehouse will create a transfer order and arrange the goods' outbound, transportation, and inbound processes to ensure that the goods can be delivered to the distributor on time and accurately. Distributors consume products and submit sales data on the distributor side. The system automatically generates a settlement statement based on the sales data. The management side reviews the settlement statement and settles after confirming that it is correct. The settlement process is fully digitized, which greatly improves settlement efficiency and accuracy.

[0010] Return business: When the consignment distributor's goods need to be returned for various reasons, a return transfer application can be submitted through the distribution system. The system records the detailed information of the returned goods, including the reason for return, quantity, etc., to provide a basis for subsequent analysis and improvement. The return application is automatically transferred to the general warehouse for review and processing. After confirming that the return application is correct, the general warehouse automatically generates a return order and pushes the return transfer application form and transfer order to the ERP system.

[0011] The innovations of the present invention are: the system adopts modular design, which is convenient for flexible configuration and expansion according to different business needs; data sharing and collaborative operation are realized between the dealer end and the management end to improve management efficiency; the system adopts digital means to manage distribution to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of data; the system can be integrated with the ERP system to achieve two-way synchronization of documents, optimize processes, and improve work efficiency. These innovations together constitute the core competitive advantage of the present invention, making the present invention have significant technical advancement and practicality in the field of medical device sales management.

[0012] In summary, the present invention realizes real-time sharing and efficient collaboration of supply chain information through the collaborative work of the distributor end and the management end, as well as deep integration with the ERP system. The system has technical features such as modular design, data sharing and collaboration, intelligent early warning and decision support, and can significantly improve the operational efficiency and management level of medical device distribution companies. The present invention has broad application prospects and market value, and will bring significant economic and social benefits to the medical device distribution industry.
